Clickable v6.9.0 has been out for a short while now with several small changes.
dependencies_build
has been replaced by dependencies_host
to avoid confusion,
meaning dependencies_build
now deprecated. Another deprecation is the $PLACEHOLDER
style syntax. It has been superseded by the ${PLACEHOLDER}
syntax. This will help
avoid issues like the ARCH placholder breaking the ARCH_TRIPLET placeholder
(which had been previously fixed). And speaking of placeholders, they are now allowed
to be in the env_vars
configuration. The last deprecation of v6.9.0 is the
python
build template. This is an old template for building python apps for
Ubuntu Touch 15.04 (back then the pyothersides library wasn’t build into the image).
This has been replaced by the precompiled
build template, which allows you to
build an app like the pure
template, but also sets an architecture for precompiled
binaries/libraries that you might want to include. This release also improves and
fixes the install_*
configuration options. These options allow you to pull arbitrary
file & libraries from the Clickable docker container. With this you can easily
install dependencies into your click app that aren’t present in the base Ubuntu
Touch system. v6.9.0 fixes and issue where bash could be executed from these
directives. And for install_qml
it will install qml modules in the correct
path to reflect its module name. There are also some other bug fixes and improvements,
especially around the architecture (which now includes tests to gaurd against regression bugs).
If you run into any issues with Clickable please report them in the GitLab Issues.
